| medium | a physical substance or material (solid, liquid, or gas) through which energy, such as sound or light waves, propagates, transmits, or travels. |
| Transverse wave | is a wave in which the disturbance Is perpendicular to the direction the waves travels |
| Longitude wave | Causes the particles in a medium to move parallel to the direction that the wave travels . |
| sound wave | sound wave is a longitudinal wave that can only travel through matter |
| Wave length | the distance between one point on a wave to the same point on the next wave |
| frequency | the number of times the waves repeat in a given time |
| pitch | Means if the sound is high or deep. |
| Amplitude | the maximum distance that the waves moves from its rest position |
